No candidate version available for atom on Ubuntu 20.04

🥞 Cookbook version

0.4.0

👩‍🍳 Chef-Infra Version

chef_version=14.15.6

🎩 Platform details

platform=ubuntu
platform_version=20.04
ruby=ruby 2.5.8p224 (2020-03-31 revision 67882) [x86_64-linux]

Steps To Reproduce

Just try include_recipe 'atom' on Ubuntu 20.04

🚓 Expected behavior

There are working instructions here using apt and packagecloud instead of webupd8team. Given a working solution exists (tested, it works for me) where I can install Atom for Ubuntu 20.04 manually I'd expect this recipe to have some support somehow to install Atom on Ubuntu 20.04.

➕ Additional context

Likely just a sidenote but using the packagecloud recipe to install Atom has problems of its own

I did also try manually changing the debian recipe to this just so I can have something working:

apt_repository 'atom-ppa' do
  uri 'ppa:webupd8team/atom'
  distribution  'bionic'
end

This does lead to an installation and at first I thought things were working but this is the error message I get when I try to run Atom:

image

Looks like a known problem solved here. Once again solved using packagecloud. I have been trying and failing to modify the source further to source it from packagecloud. I tried modifying the debian recipe further to:

apt_repository 'atom-ppa' do
  uri 'https://packagecloud.io/AtomEditor/atom/any/'
  distribution 'bionic'
  arch 'amd64'
  keyserver 'packagecloud.io/AtomEditor/atom/gpgkey'
end

But this leads to:

  • STDERR: E: Malformed entry 1 in list file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/atom-ppa.list (Component)
  • Error executing action run on resource 'execute[apt-cache gencaches]'
  • Error executing action run on resource 'execute[apt-get -q update]'
  • Error executing action update on resource 'apt_update[atom-ppa]'
  • Error executing action install on resource 'apt_package[atom]'

Thank you for the detailed report. It looks like another repository is needed for atom on ubuntu 20.04 as you pointed out. https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-atom-text-editor-on-ubuntu-20-04/ worked for me as a manual method. I'll see if I can adapt the cookbook to use those instructions and add ubuntu 20.04 support. I'll try to look at it before 4/13/2021.

#68 should support ubuntu 20.04. I'm still working on packaging details.

#68 should have added support
